WOW! That’s just GREAT (under the circumstances).
GOOD FOR You!

Ideally, church membership should be able to prevent anti=Christian elements from taking over...... but when they do and it proves impossible to remove them.....
then....
getting out is what I’d do, for sure.

we have to recognize that any human-run institution can go bad (certainly Calvin, or all people, would’ve agreed with that!)....

People leave churches for (often fairly minor) doctrinal differences of opinion ... all the time. Far better, though, to leave whre the basic, core Christian character of those in charge has been subverted and, as here, sincere efforts to correct things have proven unsuccessful.

May God Bless you and your new congregation. I’m confident He appreciates the sincerity of your faith.

Thank you. It was a difficult thing to do and some members left our congregation because of it, but it was the right thing to do.
